Golden Apple Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Golden Apple Award ( German : Goldener Apfel Preis) was an American film award with which the Hollywood Women's Press Club, founded by Louella Parsons , annually honors actors and entertainers who have shown themselves to be particularly cooperative in the collaboration between 1941 and 2001. With the negative Sour Apple Award (German: Saurer Apfel Preis), the organization honors artists who, on the contrary, have shown themselves to be particularly uncooperative and difficult. Since 1970 the Hollywood Women's Press Club has also presented a Louella Parsons Award , with which artists can be honored for their life's work. This award is named after the American gossip reporter Louella Parsons.
